Charlottesville Tiki Torcher Teddy Joseph Von Nukem Killed Himself Before  Trial

 

Teddy Joseph Von Nukem, one of the most prominent faces lit by the glow of tiki torches in what became the lasting image of the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, killed himself as he was due to face criminal trial last month.

The 35-year-old skipped out on his first day of trial for a drug trafficking charge in Arizona on the morning of Jan. 30, according to court records. At the very moment a federal judge was issuing a warrant for his arrest, Von Nukem was actually still at his home in Missouri, where he had walked out in the snow behind the hay shed and shot himself.

So, this is a guy who pretends to be all patriotic and wants to exercise his 'rights' by denying others theirs.    It turns out that like his fellow 'patriots', he's nothing more than a common criminal and a trafficker.

You are punishing a whole group of people based on the actions of one person, I do believe that that is actually a war crime , collective punishment
